How Much Can Fit in 1 Tile? - Cities: Skylines CHALLENGE

[@niagarawarrior9623]

Both Simcity 2013, and City Skylines are good games in their own right. SimCity 2013 looked great and had great features but the playing field was embarrassingly small.... like wtf small. City Skylines looks great, has great features but a city of 15,000 people needs like 150 garbage trucks and 100 funeral hearses. A rarely mentioned Cities XL is a great median between the two, and the playable map is huuuuuge.

If you had the 81 tiles mod and you had a city with the same density as the one tile city compressed into those 81 tiles, you would have a city with 4,943,025 people living in it. Just to show how crazy that would be, I did the math and even if you had only 25 tiles, you would have 1,525,625 people living in it. But just to show HOW DENSE that city would be, just 9 tiles at the same density we were using, we would have 549,225 people living in the city, FINALLY going under the cities skylines limit of around 1 million.

[@dlwatib]

The nice thing about Cities: Skylines is that your buildings are all virtual. If you want to upgrade a road to an avenue you can just do it, rezone, and the buildings will rebuild themselves around the new avenue. Of course, that road you pointed out will still have too much traffic even when it's an avenue. The intersections are too close together. What needs to be done in addition to giving the road more lanes is to make the blocks on either side twice as long or dead end half the streets so there are half as many intersections.

[@MultiSciGeek]

Great work! I'm thinking here if instead of you making highways why you do not use tunnels and all this wasted space will be gone maybe it can look weird but if in the entrance you go underground and just put the exit to the city could be better or you can just keep the main highway down in the ground and the roads go up to the city by tunnels

Keep it going, it would be interesting to see how many tiles you can make just as dense

[@musikSkool]

I would love a mod (or complete game) with check boxes for enabling auto-infrastructure. So things like Police, Fire, Schools, Power, Water, Buss Lines, etc can be set to auto so all you need to do is put down roads and pick where zones go. For example, if you need more police then the game takes an unused commerce or residential plot of land and gives you a Police station, automatically deciding budget based on needed coverage, even increasing budget as the city grows. Kinda like an Auto City Generator. In fact, you can even set Roads and Zones to auto and the city will add to itself as needed leaving you to do whatever you want to. Kinda like how the Mayor can just hire people to manage certain tasks and he really doesn't need to do much. You could even toggle "Show a proposal for me to 'OK' before building it" with buttons like "go for it", "try something else", "make a smaller proposal", "make a bigger proposal", "wait a few years, then go ahead", or even "don't try to solve this problem right now". Ya know, just to make you feel like you are still in control of any aspect you want to be and let the game do the boring parts automatically.

[@Katastrophe9009]

As someone who played SImcity 2013 almost daily until Citeis: Skylines I do this without even trying. I just got used to having an extremely small area to work with, and don't remember I can buy more land until I run out. As a result, all of my cities are extremely dense and compact.

[@Pippemi]

I reckon you could get another tile in if you nudged the highway together using move it or just use tunnels for it, and used a bit of terra-forming to reduce the river size would really help. You probably don't need as many roads cutting through either to keep your city functioning well which would mean more houses.

[@christopherdraper5815]

Finally someone who understands that highways have a bunch of mini interchanges everywhere... to many players in cities skylines think the only way you can get off highways are through interchanges.

[@Marksman560]

a thing to optimize your 1-Tile-build (idea's I had because of SimCity 2013): - Roads cover lots of land: You can put (almost unlimited) highways underground which also reduces traffic jams to 0. This removes the need to put avenues, roundabouts and other measures (space) you used, to have a good traffic flow. ps SC2013 made it so important to use space efficiently, I even put 4 bridges over eachother, so at the cost of '1 road length and width of space' I could have traffic throughput of 4 roads. Just tested this and 'unfortunatly' this is not possible in Cities Skylines. But this is one (of the pletora) aspects where Cities Skyline is much more realistic then SC2013. Building houses from sand on the beach is a better city-simulation, then SC2013 :')

[@dlwatib]

I heard that cims are willing to walk about 12 blocks (1 km) to work. So yes, in a 1 tile city with nicely mixed zoning and good walking paths, most cims should be willing to walk to work. They should be willing to go even farther on bicycle, so technically you shouldn't need any public transport at all in a 1 tile city, just good bike lanes and favorable bike policies everywhere. It would be an interesting challenge: to build a 1 tile city with no public transport, just bike and walking paths and conventional roads.
